Does Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your GLA45 AMG feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GLA45 AMG’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GLA45 AMG’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GLA45 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my GLA45 AMG front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your GLA45 AMG when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GLA45 AMG feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GLA45 AMG travels over minor bumps.
